Amicia is a character in the video game "A Plague Tale: Innocence" who possesses a unique ability to control rats with the help of a rune. The rune gives her the power to command swarms of rats at her will, making them her ally instead of a threat. This ability plays a crucial role in the game's storyline, as the player must navigate through various levels by strategically using the rats as a weapon or a distraction. The rune is a symbol of Amicia's connection to the rats and the plague that has ravaged the world in which she lives. It represents her ability to adapt and survive in the face of adversity, as well as her willingness to embrace her unique powers. The rune also serves as a reminder of the danger and destruction that the rats can cause if not controlled properly.
I’m not saying this is a no effort port, but that the effort put in and the price they are asking for a game that is six years old seem disconnected. Right now there are plenty of great RPGs available that are new and with a price tag so high it’s hard to suggest the old game rather than the new one. I can only recommend this to people who have never played it or the hardest of hardcore Ni No Kuni fans because otherwise just wait for a sale to play this one again.

Ni no kuni wrath of the white witch ps4
I have had Half-Life 2 since I started PC gaming. It was likely 2008/2009 when I got onto Steam for the lone reason of being able to play Source Engine mods. Each time I have upgraded from the original mediocre HP laptop I started with I have brought Half-Life 2 with me and been able to see it with better settings each time. Across different hardware and operating systems, Half-Life 2 has always been there and I have not had to pay to see it in better quality.
If I had to buy Half-Life 2 to see it with better anti-aliasing and resolution, it would probably feel a lot like Ni No Kuni’s remaster feels like, because that’s all that’s different here. The game looks prettier.

It was January of 2013 when Ni No Kuni hit American shores and six years later the game is back… and almost at full price (it’s $70 in Canada before tax). Maybe I am just too used to remasters coming in at more reasonable prices (THQNordic seems to get the idea) but $50 for a game that reached Greatest Hits status (meaning it sold half a million copies) and did well enough to get a sequel seems a bit much. I have a feeling Ni No Kuni 2 didn’t do as well as everyone hoped, but that still doesn’t make this price tag seem fair.
In the platforms section I put down Switch with two asterisks next to it. That is because the Switch version is not the remaster. It lacks the title and I believe is just a straight port of the PS3 game.
Now as for the game, it’s great, (unless you listen to Drew talk about it on our very own Phoenix Down podcast) but any PS3 review is going to say exactly what anyone needs to know about this game. I am sort of dumbfounded at how vanilla this “remaster” is.
I played my PS3 version alongside the PS4 version. I would get to a point in the PS4 version, stop, then switch to the PS3 version on the same screen. The Studio Ghibli animation looks stellar on both. The close up shots only look slightly better on PS4 and that’s expected. What really stands out is the general gameplay portions which look very blurry on PS3, but that’s not the game’s fault but rather the hardware’s fault. A quick look online led me to a video of someone emulating Ni No Kuni on their PC via a PS3 emulator and the game looks much closer to the PS4 “remaster” meaning that those elements are there in the original.
To me this game seems more like how the game was designed before it was altered to work on lesser hardware. It is a lot like finally running Half-Life 2 on a decent PC after running it on a crummy laptop for years. To anyone who paid full price for Ni No Kuni it feels unfair to charge those customers again, especially when Xbox has been doing similar “remastering” on Xbox 360 titles.
I know this sounds very odd but even the inclusion of basic remake of the original Ni No Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn (the original DS game Wrath of the White Witch is based on) would have made this a much more worthwhile purchase as that game never saw a Western release. Comparing this to other RPG remasters, it lacks and quality of life upgrades or any upgrades for that matter.
I’m not saying this is a no effort port, but that the effort put in and the price they are asking for a game that is six years old seem disconnected. Right now there are plenty of great RPGs available that are new and with a price tag so high it’s hard to suggest the old game rather than the new one.

Good- It’s the same Ni No Kuni, but prettier
However, she must use this ability with caution, as excessive use of the rats can attract unwanted attention and put her and her companions in danger. The rune also serves as a symbolic representation of Amicia's growth as a character. At the beginning of the game, she is initially fearful and unsure of her abilities. As the story progresses, she becomes more confident and resourceful, using the rats as a means of protection and survival. In conclusion, Amicia's possession of the rune and her ability to control rats is a central aspect of the game "A Plague Tale: Innocence." It represents her connection to the rats and the plague, as well as her growth as a character. The rune allows her to navigate through challenging levels and overcome various obstacles by using the rats as her allies. However, she must use her powers with caution, as the rats can also be a destructive force if not controlled properly..
Reviews for "Changing the Game: How Rune-Enhanced Amicia is Shaping the Future of Magic"
- John - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Amicia that has rune". The story felt disjointed and the characters lacked depth. The game also had a lot of bugs and glitches that took away from the overall experience. I wouldn't recommend it.
- Sarah - 1/5 stars - "Amicia that has rune" was a complete waste of my time and money. The gameplay was repetitive and boring, and the graphics were subpar. The puzzles were too easy and the plot was predictable. I regretted buying it.
- David - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Amicia that has rune" but it fell flat for me. The controls were clunky and the combat mechanics were unintuitive. The voice acting was also lackluster and didn't do justice to the characters. Overall, it was a forgettable experience.
